ANNIE…ANNIE… ARE YOU OK? RESUSCI ANNE
Annie…Annie… Are You OK? The evolution of Resusci Anne

…

The first Resusci-Annie was developed by Asmund Laerdal, a successful toy maker, and Bjorn Lind, an anaesthesiologist. In the 1950s, Laerdal was manufacturing imitation wounds for Red Cross first aid training in Norway and Sweden, when he learned of the new CPR resuscitation technique, and envisioned life-sized mannequins as the ideal training tool and he set to work.

Resusci-Annie debuted in September 1960 in Stavanger, Norway at the First International Symposium on Resuscitation. The symposium was attended by US EMS pioneers Drs. Peter Safar, James Elam, Archer Gordon, Henning Ruben, and Rudolf Frey. Dr. Safar and Dr. Elam began working with Laerdal and his team refining Annie.
